Applications are only as secure as the code behind them.

An application is only as secure as the code that's behind it.
Sometimes code is rushed to production before it's properly reviewed
and tested. Other times organizations lack the resources to have
someone separate from the original development team perform an
independent review of the code. Regardless of the reasons behind it,
pushing code for your applications to production without first
properly reviewing it for potential security issues adds significant
risk to your organization's overall security posture.

Sikich consultants have extensive experience in software
development, security audits and penetration testing for web and
desktop applications. We conduct detailed code reviews to provide you
with clear, concise and meaningful recommendations for proactive
application security.

Why It's Important

Attackers have shifted their focus away from exploiting system
vulnerabilities in order to gain network access. Instead, they are
attacking the millions of web-facing applications at their
fingertips or desktop applications that are often overlooked.

Insecure applications running within your environment can
significantly increase the likelihood and impact of a successful
attack. Code reviews improve software quality and strengthen
application security. By conducting a thorough code review, your
organization can identify and correct mistakes made during
development and improve the overall skill level of your developers.

How We Can Help

As an independent organization, Sikich reviews your application
from a different viewpoint than your internal staff. Our consultants
are trained in secure coding and focus on specific coding practices,
functions and methods that lead to insecurities; items that your
internal staff may not even recognize. We help you identify and
correct application vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them.

We further identify areas of concern within your code and focus on
the most practical and effective security solutions by performing a
code review in conjunction with a penetration test.
Additionally, by incorporating regular penetration testing into the
code review process, we help your development team gain a fuller
understanding of the code's security strengths and weaknesses on an
ongoing basis.

Your code review will be customized to your application and will
typically include:

Input validation

Authentication and authorization

Session management

Connections to databases

Access controls

Additional areas identified by penetration testing

Improve the quality and security of your code.
